818 - Dr. Brain & the Women feat. Alex Nichols (3/25/24)
Alex is back to look at a number of topics including: Putin’s ancient vault, the Brain podcast sex freak, UN supports ceasefire, Jewish Heaven, Trump bankrupting the RNC, Catturd’s dogs, and Royal maladies. Finally, a reading series on the Ancien Cajun, James Carville, and who still has lessons to impart on the best way for Democrats to win from that one time he let Ross Perot hand him an election.

it's been incredible to watch every guy who's TEDTalk we had to watch in upper level undergrad psych courses circa 2012 go completely off the rails. Very cool, glad I spent my money on that information that was totally real and replicable
Felix confusing Hubert Humphrey with Ed Muskie
Tbh, carpenter here,they probably don’t have proper radon barriers under all those old ass British monarch estates and palaces, so Yes they could be getting cancerous as fuck just from that potentially.
HUNTER CRACKFYRE THE KING WHO BORE THE PIPE
Yeah, seems like the tables have turned. It's now conservatives who think normal things are bad.
Alex is great
Another great Alex episode
Andrew from e1 has GOTTA settle down!
The ending song is the theme from Lone Wolf and Cub, Tete Gobashi by Babu Satake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7hRaTNc9rQ&t=17s
Anyone know the ending song? Please its so good
Trump is 1000x funnier than Biden has ever been. He is still hilarious
Alex for regular co-host
When Felix says “yeah” shortly after the 54 min mark is killing me!
Huberman has failed to grasp Tae Kwon Leap. Boot to the head.
Who else remembers Raprock Obama?
Hunter getting to fuck weed_slut_420 is legitimately cool
What's that song at the end of the ep.?
Part of me thought that Matt was just going to be like "Yeah man I gotta say my feelings have really changed about musk since the implant." After Will gave the intro lol
The Shy Historian did a great YouTube about just how inbred Charles is, like we’re talking coefficients and genealogy
I’m actually somewhat shocked these guys didn’t know who Huberman is. They pretty much described him accurately though…listening to him is an occasional guilty pleasure, not sure why
When I was deeply depressed Huberman helped me just start doing stuff, I’m seasoned enough with internet bs where I could take the parts I liked and leave the rest
Alex is my favorite recurring guest and has been since I first heard him on the show back in like 2017. I am thrilled with how often he’s been on lately. The guy could like give a straight weather update and it’d make me laugh
Will on point updating his pop culture reference midstream from "Prince Valiant haircut" to "Anton Chigurh haircut" 😎
Will's Prince Valiant and Felix's Brenda Starr, this episode is a tribute to the golden age of the Sunday funny pages
I took James Carville’s class at Tulane in 2014 AMA
Learn anything good?
Alex always has me in stitches
Engineer here, BCI that could do this have been around for like 20 years; Elon is still the king of CAP.
Anyone know the name of the song at the end?
james carville story is like marty hart teaching a college class lmao
A really unmanly, inhumane refusal by Will and Felix to humbly admit that they made a mistake by making fun of Kate Middleton’s absence from public life. Yes, there is far greater suffering in the world than that of a privileged young mother with the best healthcare in the world. But suffering is not a zero-sum proposition. Although the atrocities committed by the IDF against Palestinians are repulsive almost beyond comprehension, it’s also tragic that Matt Christian, a young father and husband with access the the best healthcare in LA, has had to suffer with terrible health. Aren’t progressivism and leftism about extending compassion widely, rather than measuring it out with coffee spoons. How small and coarse Will and Felix were today.
Historically royalty has been one of the roadblocks that has prevented the extending of compassion widely, so why would we get so heartbroken when one of them suffers? Because one of them is a young attractive white lady? She could always abdicate, forfeit all her titles and I would go back to giving a shit. Till then, couldn't happen to a nicer person.

According to the study, now published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, every member of a hyena clan, except the highest-ranking queen, suffers downward mobility across their lifetime. "It paints a pretty bleak picture of hyena societies," says Eli Strauss, a scientist at Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior and sole author on the paper. "No matter what position you inherit, the only way is down." Fair or not, hyenas haven't earned a reputation for regality, yet their societies bear a striking resemblance to human monarchies. https://phys.org/news/2023-06-hyenas-inherit-power-mothers-privilege.html
awaiting the boys from Brazil scene to happen to cat turd
Come back Matt, we need you and your big brain, zipper or not! Think about you every day and wishing you the best recovery
Same, was thinking about how great his Carvile impression would have been in this EP.
Really missed Matt when it was time for a Cajun accent
I'm 100% sure my first gore video was also that beheading video Alex mentioned. It was some Chechen guy out in a forest somewhere.
can’t wait to one day tell my grand kids about chapo’s unreal run in march 2024
and what more does alex have to do to get a permanent mic. love him
I like how Felix just turned Carville's "too many preachy women" into "too many articles" because he understands what the *real* problem is.
What is the name of the absolute bop at the end?
Theme song of Lone Wolf and Cub, a pretty sick deep cut from Mr Wade
The film Harakiri but it’s Biden doing his prompter stare
“i don’t think its my business but… that doesn’t mean i wouldn’t like an article”
Alex is one if the funniest guests you guys have in the show
Alex should be the third Chapo until Matt comes back.
Myrrh is pronounced MER
Cool
He does know that the alt right weirdos are the ones telling us beer and football is bad, right?
Kids today don't know about one guy one glass, they don't know about the BME pain olympics or goatse or Mr. Hands. They don't know what the Gauntlet is. Our culture is dying.
Catturd exhibiting Christopher Moltisanti levels of deflection discussing the death of his dog
Is not knowing who Huberman is a bit?
Right!? They live on twitter and shit haven’t heard of the guy.
Felix not keeping up with milk inflation, smh
Alex is great.
They are funny but should be banned from ever talking about hip hop because they always insult good rap and praise trash
Will has actually had some good rap takes over the years
Lone Wolf and Cub Movie Mindset episode please.
Heart hands in the chat for matt 🫶
Matt better be doing great if they're making brain chip jokes 😄
The caked middleton is a lie and carry on
Thanks to his new Neuralink chip, Matt will now be writing all his tweets exclusively in Wingdings
catturd will one day have his brakes fail as he’s zooming up his driveway. It’ll lead to the deaths of no less than 30 dogs. It’s the Florida Man way.
We might even get lucky and he Angela Chao's himself, but given it's Catturd, he won't back his truck into a lake... Because he's Floridia Man, he'll probably back into some kind of swamp ditch or brackish pool of water near a culvert.
the white vs black nationalist anti-semitism schism deserves more scholarly attention...
We laugh at the cajun moron's line about seeing his grandma naked but Karl Pilkington once described seeing up his aunt's skirt accidentally as a child and said it looked like a ripped tennis ball. That image will remain in my head till I die
SPLIT tennis ball not ripped
Carville Tunnel Syndrome <----- how about that, anything there?
Pfft, more like Andrew Puberman.
Gottem
Really enjoying the Alex episodes, he’s so funny
Agreed, cat turds were our beagles favorite. Our dog was King Coprophilia.
What did Bill Mitchell’s tweet say? Can’t just leave me hanging like that
The huberman story is hilarious and interesting- wish they hadn’t handwaved it away to make some point about cheating panic. That’s absolutely a part of it but he’s such a revealing character in terms of the content economy and its intersection with questionable science and quackery. Can’t help but feel this would have been a much cooler ep if the guys were more familiar with him or just trying a little harder
Great to hear Chapo’s counterintuitive Huberman take that the real comedy here is the stupidity of women who date men who mislead them and treat them badly
Could someone please post a link to Biden saying “Presinald Trunt”? I can’t find it anywhere and I would desperately love to watch it.
I looked around a bit and couldn't find it either. Here's a link to Biden's little speech on Capitol Storming Day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_rtnCFbU68 where he says Trump's name mostly correctly (he sort of always has that old man slow slurring speech thing going on and you kind of can't not hear "presinald trunt" every time he says Trump's name now) twice over the 8 min speech. He does call the electoral college the electro collar, before correcting himself though. Felix appears to have first tweeted it on Jan 8 2021 and someone replies asking if there's video of it with no repsonse. Felix tweets it again on May 23 with someone replying again saying they can't find video either, so I think this might be Felix being Felix: one of those fictional truths that's truer than reality. Anyways, here's The Who's version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfrUQA2tb6M
Will's mic is gating.
Matt’s @horse_ebooks ass posting divulging secrets of the Old Ones like ancient hieroglyphics
Matt's brain (the Christmind) can do the thing from Scanners now
Oh Matt's been making stuffy professors heads into mounds of hamburger for a while now
Matt gets a pretty cool scar
Every good history dude has one
this guy should be a permanent chapo
Nice burn on James Carville. Do you think he ever had ragin' syphilis?
If you’re getting sad about politics news I suggest replacing every “Joe Biden” in the copy with “Joe Budden” ‘ US Ex-General Tells Ukraine to “Ignore” Joe Budden’s Alleged Warning ‘
I know kids who have a better track record of keeping goldfish alive than catturd and his dogs
Believe it or not according to wikipedia I guess Ross Douthat is in the mix on Barbaro going straight.
Six months and a movie?
Bidens new nickname should be "James Carvel"
Lawnmower Man 3: Christman's Jihad
when I saw the collection of catturd2’s animal endangerment tweets it made me wonder if he lives in the zone from Stalker (I mean it has to look just as bleak right?), just stuff strewn everywhere across an overgrown wasteland and chaotic unexplainable things happening to all who enter.
TikTok is shit. What moron is getting their information from it.
I love the idea of the Royal Family just becoming Britain’s new cryptids
Israel wants to do a season finale solution yeah I rephrased it
Any time I hear Maureen Dowd, I think it’s marine dowd, and it’s a friend of marine todd
Go outside, Matt
I love how the AFP declared Kennsington Palace to be an unreliable source and then like 5 days later had to pretend they never said that
"It takes 10,000 hours to be an expert at something" was the last time I can remember white collar dopes falling for thinkfluencer crap and it took Malcolm Gladwell to get them to parrot it in public, anyways "yeah you need to do stuff for a really really long time before you know a lot about it" thankfully its a nice even number like 10k and not like 7569 hours
The sting when HW gets mentioned was mag knee feek, Chris. Chef’s kiss
Hell yeah lol
Is it just me but the slew of guys on this podcast who obviously want to be on this podcast as much as possible and be obsequious to the boys, when does Matt return, fuck!!!!
nah it's just you, Alex is an S-tier guest. chapo fym and fortune kit both rock.
“The sound you’re looking for is the sigh of a satisfied woman.” Love it when my satisfied woman makes a loud pop like Michael Winslow chewing bubble gum to indicate the dick was good.
alex has really been the best guest in this format, always bringing it
We love Alex, don’t we folks?
Opening of this ep is the latest in a series of reassuring things about Matt, was great hearing the surgery went well and cool as hell seeing the awesome pic he posted but hearing the fellas laugh about it seals the deal in such a heartwarming way. Great episode all around, always nice to hear Alex, laughing our asses off on the way to work today. ❤️❤️❤️
Alex rules
His spiel about early Internet and seeing abominable death video was lol.
Read the James Carville article as well. He waxes poetically about campaigning and then complains about union organizing on campaign staffs. Here is the democratic party today, educated boomers who have no use for labor. Him and chris mattews should be shot into space. It wouldn't solve anything but it would be fun to watch.
is alex getting called up to the big leagues?
I knew there was a reason I woke up early and turned my red lights on, meditated, exercised, ice plunged had a sauna(with my nuts on ice), a smoothie, supplements and got ready to stare at the sunrise for my red state e-mail job! No for real I love huberman. At least his shit is free!
Eagerly awaiting Matt's resounding triumph against Garry Kasparov at lightcycle chess
Just remember to vote Biden. If we do we can push him to the left! He will owe us!!!
hoping for your own sake that that is satire
For the neuralink: this is basically rehashed research from like 15 years ago. They had chimps playing pong with neural sensors back then and Elon's just lifted the same research and called it groundbreaking
Putin out there looking for a G.E.C.K. Feel better, Matt! Love you!
Huberman’s advice must work. If you enough stamina to slang that much dick in your 40’s, you have to be doing something right.
You could just take test
Itchywawa
finally, a break from listening to old episodes of seeking derangements
i’m ur friend
Damn almost made it without listening
hell yes more alex
OOOOOWEEEEE
I take Chapo twice weekly for neuroplasticity and election control. You can quote me for your promotional materials.
